Helps to manage data and secures configuration
We use Amazon Macie to manage data.  The tool gives confidence that our configuration is safe.  I have been using the product for three years.  The tool's deployment is easy.  Amazon Macie is worth its money.  I rate the tool an eight out of ten.  Amazon Web Services (AWS)

Provides comprehensive visibility and protection, helps in identifying the gaps in security, and comes with excellent onboarding support
In a couple of instances, we had a little bit of trouble in getting it distributed throughout the organization. We ultimately managed to do it, but they talk about it being a pretty simple process, and it became a little laborious. It would just turn away. The agents were not being distributed. It was just churning and churning and churning. When we were looking for specific categories of data, it was getting bogged down, but that was not even so much Code42, although some of it was their issue. It really has to do with the overall infrastructure and what the organization is prepared to do. If the infrastructure or the networking is a little hinky or you don't have a really finely tuned network infrastructure environment and your patches aren't up to date on your servers and your endpoints, it could get a little sticky. Other than that, it was okay. We really didn't have much problem beyond that. It took a couple of days to sort that out, but it was no big deal.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The tool gives confidence that our configuration is safe."
"The tool's performance is good."
"The solution is very stable. Very rarely do we have any issues with it. We don't have to deal with bugs or glitches. It doesn't crash or freeze. We find it to be reliable."
"It had the ability to preseed by sending in a data drive and could restore by sending the user a data drive."
"It has quite a bit of flexibility in configuring backup sets."
"Security tools: Being able to monitor data going in and coming off our endpoints. Seeing what it is and where it's going is awesome."
"Code42 Next-Gen DLP is scalable."
"Risk factors can be adjusted for all intricate details."
"Low system overhead, setting retention policies, ease of use"
"It required very little ongoing maintenance once setup."
 

Cons

"Amazon Macie is expensive."
"In a couple of instances, we had a little bit of trouble in getting it distributed throughout the organization. We ultimately managed to do it, but they talk about it being a pretty simple process, and it became a little laborious. It would just turn away. The agents were not being distributed. It was just churning and churning and churning. When we were looking for specific categories of data, it was getting bogged down, but that was not even so much Code42, although some of it was their issue."
"More security would be nice, I would love to be able to remotely brick a stolen laptop and it's hard disk drive (HDD)."
"Reporting could use an overhaul. It is very limited."
"You can't always filter out data that you'd like to."
"Java, please get rid of Java."
"​Due to recent changes that effectively abandoned an entire segment of their user base, I no longer trust nor can recommend Code42 products."
"What I think could be improved is how I get support."
"The application, written in Java, required far more system resources on a Client than other solutions."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"You need to pay per usage."
"The pricing is reasonable. It's my understanding that the cost is about $7 for unlimited storage in the cloud per server."
"It was expensive. It was more expensive than Eureka, and it was more expensive than Barracuda Backup, but what we got was a full team. They didn't come in and nickel and dime us. They provided the assistance we needed. They didn't say that they need to charge us for something or it is going to take another statement of work. It was all bundled into it... We pay for the software maintenance. It is probably 18% or 20% of the license fee for rev releases."
"It used to be a good solution for SOHO in particular as it had unlimited storage for a reasonable price. However, their pricing model has changed and they are now primarily targeting enterprise users."
"It is 100% worth the cost to get and keep the support, especially when setting it up."
"They were the best solution and surprisingly enough, the cheapest."
